Teachers, or anyone with children

I'm doing my grad in Math and Science and for one of my classes I need to observe a math or science class 4 times (doesnt have to be same class or grade). But i'm working full time now and kinda just started so I cant take off to go to a school and observe a class. So i am just going to make up the observations. All i have to do is write 2 pages about the lesson and when students began to lose interest and why.

But i need to know what is being taught now... I can't find a pacing calendar for schools online.. so can someone tell me what they are teaching in either math or science right now for my first observation.. Thanks!!

ETA: I just realized if you have children can you let me know what they are doing in school in either subject! Thanks

what grade?

i have one of my BM is a math teacher in junior high school.... i can call her leave a message and get back to you when i get a call back...

I teach 7th grade spec. ed. and in one of my skills classes we are going over basic multiplicaton and division. I don't know if you can do spec. ed. but if you can and you need more help just let me know and I will give you more info.

Thanks.. I'm not sure if I could do special ed.. because then there is actually a lot more going on in the room as to why they may be losing focus. I actually have a special ed observation saved on my computer, but im thinking I wont be able to use it.. Thanks though!

in second grade in sachem school district at hiawatha right now we are doing the solar system, going planet by planet, learning the basic facts. They have planet folders they made out of black construction paper and as they learn each planet they add it to their solar system on the folder.

In math they are learning money, how to count coins and dollars, what each is worth, and how to give back change, if they can buy things with x amount of money if it costs y.

any questions ask away :)

Thanks!! I'm going to look at the Ciy's math program and see what lessons the math would match up with. Do you think you can send me a lesson for the science?

hey! I teach 6th grade- right now the kids are doing percents in math (and test prep of course) and the weather in science
hope this helps! anything else u need to know just ask!

Thanks.. i'm not sure if i can do 2nd grade.. but if anyone has lessons they dont mind sharing.. can you email them to me..

my email address is [email protected]

Thanks everyone who has already responded and sent FM. You guys are soo amazing and helpful!!!

I'm student teaching right now and I'm teaching the math and science units. I'm teaching 3rd grade.

In science, they're doing earth science. We just finished landforms and today we started rocks. In math, they are learning how to tell time on a clock face and they're also learning about elapsed time.

HTH!

Oooh i did a whole unit on rocks when i taught third grade!! Thanks

I teach fourth grade, and for science we are doing 'motion and design' where the kids build a 'standard vehicle' out of k'nex and do a whole bunch of basic tests...like force, load, etc.

in math we are doing probability....like with spinners and fractions/decimals.

if you want more info, you can FM me.
